PARTIALS/ POSTICHE WIGS

There is no cure for thinning hair; however, that doesn’t mean that there is no solution. About 40% of aging women will notice thinning hair and Hair Prosthesis Centre in Barrie, ON offers the solutions. We don’t just offer full wigs, as you may not need one to cover your entire head. Instead, we have many partial hair systems that cover the specific sections where you’re experiencing thinning hair (whether it’s the top, crown or front of your head).

If the top of your hair is thinning, you have the option of integrating a partial hair system to your natural hair to add height, volume and thickness.

Hair systems can be attached for daily wear, or bonded for weekly wear, and is done in a private and comfortable setting by our trained hair loss specialists.

“Postiche”, derived from French and Italian roots, is another term for partial hair pieces. We carry a variety of different postiche hair systems at the Hair Prosthesis Centre, and are happy to teach you how to properly blend them into your existing hair. The types of partial hairpieces available include stylish bangs for frontal coverage, and small or large top pieces for varying degrees of coverage.

FRONTAL COVERAGE

FRONTAL COVERAGE

To add fullness to an uneven hairline, clip-in bangs or fringes are the perfect solution for a light, comfortable natural look. For more coverage that extends beyond the bang area, a top partial piece is recommended.

If you have thin hair at the top of your head, integrating a lightweight and comfortable small base top piece will add volume and disguise the thinning hair. For partial coverage that goes beyond the top part of your head, a full top piece is suggested.

Large base full coverage pieces cover the entire top of your head, providing maximum coverage and thickness. Full top coverage partial hair systems create a natural look. For coverage beyond the top of your head, a full wig or hair system is advised.

PREVENTION

Dealing with hair loss or scalp irritation are emotional events, and can lead to social concerns and confidence issues. The best time to take action is immediately. As soon as you start to notice a change in your hair or scalp you should seek out a Trichologist or Dermatologist.

Trichology is the study of the hair and scalp and overlaps both the medical and cosmetic areas that are not normally covered by either a doctor or hairstylist. A Trichologist can help you address many concerns about your hair and scalp treatment.

Hair Prosthesis Centre in Barrie has a certified Trichologist on-site who can help you cope with the root cause of your hair loss concerns and clear up any misunderstandings. Taking action earlier can help slow down your hair’s deterioration and maintain what you have for a longer period of time. The longer you wait to find help, the faster your hair’s health will decline.

Our Trichologist uses the latest technology to explore your unique situation by using a microscopic camera that allows you to see what the Trichologist sees, and visually guides you through treatment options. Your initial appointment will consist of a 30-minute consultation at $45.
